At the centre of this historical mining community stand the former ironworks and colliery workshops of the 4th Earl Fitzwilliam’s Wentworth Estate, which during the 1790s held a position of high regard across the land. The Elsecar Ironworks opened in 1795 near iron products dwindled and the workshops the head of the Elsecar branch of the Dearne were closed.

  • Barnsley Rail Vision 2018 to 2033
    Barnsley Rail Vision 2018 to 2033 Getting Barnsley on Track Key Messages 1 Barnsley Rail Vision Getting Barnsley on Track Foreword The 1980’s and earlier rail rationalisations were particularly savage in disconnecting Barnsley Dearne Valley and the former coalfield communities of South East Wakefield and the ‘Five towns’ from the direct inter-city and inter-regional rail network. This had the further consequence of those communities being marginalised by subsequent rail investment. Today Barnsley Dearne Valley passengers experience poor rolling stock deployed on routes with low line-speeds and journey times that compare poorly against car travel. The Barnsley Rail Vision is welcomed as setting out a strategy for re- connecting Barnsley and its neighbouring Wakefield and Kirklees communities more directly to inter-city and inter-regional rail services. Delivering the vision will enable the Barnsley Dearne Valley economy – 10th most populous built up area in the Northern Powerhouse – deliver its full potential to both Sheffield and Leeds City Regions and the Sheffield- Barnsley-Wakefield-Leeds growth corridor. We look forward to promoting to key stakeholders full awareness of the rail vision and its importance to the national and sub-national economy and urging them to ensure inclusion of its aspirations in their own infrastructure and operational investment strategies. In particular HS2, Northern Powerhouse Rail, Network Rail and inter- city/inter-regional franchise investment strategies must provide excellent, high quality services linking Barnsley Dearne Valley and its Wakefield and Kirklees neighbouring communities and into the national high speed networks. Dan Jarvis MBE MP, Mayor of the Sheffield City Region Barnsley, its Dearne Valley and western rural communities all have a place in the Barnsley Rail Vision.
